NYE 2013 clubbing guide: Spain

For the first time, we present our take on the best clubbing options from across the nation.

From the 12 grapes at midnight to the follow morning's breakfast of chocolate con churros, New Year's is a big deal in Spain. For the younger generation, a night on the tiles is a must. Whether it be electro nights in Barcelona or house and techno all-dayers on the outskirts of Madrid, there's plenty to choose from.

Starting with New Year's Eve, Mondo will welcome Michael Mayer to the Spanish capital, with support coming from resident pairing Borderline. Barcelona offers a wider range, with Kerri Chandler spinning at KER Club, Dan Ghenacia turning out for Club4 and party-starting duo 2ManyDJs topping the bill as part of a high-profile event at Teatre Principal on Las Ramblas. For fans of more leftfield sounds, Sex Tags Mania chief DJ Fett Burger will join Cardopusher at Adriantic in the nearby city of Sant Adrià de Besòs, which is easily reachable by road and public transport.

While perhaps not the first place you'd associate with New Year's, Ibiza isn't without a noteworthy party or two. Following on from a record-breaking second season, Music On will throw its first end-of-year bash at Amnesia, with Jamie Jones, Pan-Pot and Leon joining Marco Carola on the Terrace. Meanwhile for the more commercially-minded, Riva Starr has been booked to man proceedings at Pacha.

In the north, Lovejoy will team back up with Oscar Mulero for a bash at El Jardin 2 in Gijón. The Spanish techno veteran has been booked for a three-hour set, with support from Logannn! and Matias Valdmont. At the other end of the country, national treasure Cristian Varela will spin at Paris 15 in Malaga as part of Electroyear Festival.
